#1 Brewer X — App Maintenance That Doesn’t Suck 🛠
I hate my frequent ritual of checking whether an app needs an update before I start working or trying to Google homebrew commands that I forgot yet again, or worse yet, having to visit a shady website to download a .dmg file of an app. Brewer X is an app that aims to solve this by making it easier to update your apps and packages from a single interface.
Brewer X is kind of like a polished and pretty-looking version of Homebrew, but with an actual interface that looks clean and intuitive. The app gives you a centralized spot to install, update, uninstall, and manage pretty much every app or package on your Mac.
You can also use Brewer X to automate maintenance tasks on your Mac, and the app also allows you to check out the transcript to understand what exactly happens behind the scenes. I specifically like this feature because I am the kind of person who likes to peek under the hood to understand how things work.
